"Sama - I've made this film for you. I need you to understand what we were fighting for…" Wow, this looks phenomenal. PBS Distribution has debuted the first official trailer for a documentary titled For Sama, which won the Audience Award and Grand Jury Prize at the SXSW Film Festival earlier this year. The film is made by a young Syrian woman named Waad al-Kateab, married to a doctor, who films her life while they have a baby and war erupts around them. "Her camera captures incredible stories of loss, laughter and survival as Waad wrestles with an impossible choice–whether or not to flee the city to protect her daughter's life, when leaving means abandoning the struggle for freedom for which she has already sacrificed so much." It was shot over five years and looks remarkable, capturing the struggles of innocent people with a different eye than most filmmakers. I really, really want to see this doc - even the trailer itself will move you to tears. ›››
